Blackout is a Sci-Fi post apocalyptic web series based on original story created by Mickael Meroz and David Guérinot. Screenplay and development by Stéphane Sarda. 12 episodes are planned.
The world is changing and science is the most important thing in this society. Scientists at the North American particle accelerator will face a catastrophe that will change mankind forever. The discovery of "la particule de Dieux" will cause the end of our world (natural catastrophy, pole switch...) and the evolution of human race.
In a world devastated and hostile, we will follow the path of Simon, Sophie and Matt.
Trapped in the basement of a cosmopolitan city, they will face a threat that will change humanity forever.
